So because he changed some things means Tom didn't actually PLAY the guitar on it which is what you're yelling about? You legit act like They never play anymore live or studio. Like why continue to follow then? Fucking move on dude. 

I am dude, sorry but I had all but dropped this schtick until this week when Jan had to try and poke the bear. Still got ton of respect for Tom and the boys but it’s just being phoned in these days. Which I guess is better than nothing

Fair enough. Agree to disagree then my man?

I mean the fact that they’re sitting there literally telling you Aaron re wrote the song and chords should kill your enjoyment but I’m sorry for relaying what was already said?

That’s what producers and engineers do though. Jerry Finn most likely changed chords and rearranged songs as well. I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a band that doesn’t have songs that have been re-written because their producers and engineers have different ideas.

Yea I know. At this point I was just trying get a reaction. I’ll drop the schtick 

[Knapppers]

Pretty sure Ilan had zero involvement in this. 

Aaron is Tom's new right hand man. He's his engineer/producer but also a musician and a huge Blink fan so he helped Tom with bits. Basically doing the job of a producer..... 

[Coddled Jan]

Didn't we just get like a 2 hour plus another 1 hour long interview with Aaron being completely honest and open about the background information about the album and all he said was basically he'd run to go grab a bass at most to try and play along or add songwriting credits, as well as humming along some melody ideas for Tom?  For me that draws a picture of them chilling in their studio, with Tom on the guitar fiddling around and Aaron being a second ear..  not vise versa like you are imagining Diddy

[Champ182]

Thanks to the people who relayed what was said in the interviews! No thanks to the people who rehashed boring ass arguments. Seriously just take that stuff to DMs if you can't help yourselves.

Hard listen tbh. Host is a massive gimp and Rubin has the personality of a soggy biscuit.

?

I was listening to Aliens Exist yesterday, and think it’s pretty likely that Jerry Finn was responsible for when the second guitar kicks in to play a few notes at 1:28-1:40.

[Coddled Jan]

I'm pretty sure Jerry Finn wrote and co-wrote Does My Breath Smell in its entirety and drums. 

[Chewy030]

In today's world Jerry would of easily gotten writing credits on the blink stuff.

Really sounds like he kinda kept Tom in check somewhat and made sure none of the obvious AvA sounds made it in. 

I laughed when he said he thought Hurt was too Angels-y and that he didn't even know it was on the album till he heard the final thing

And literally everything Tom does is golden on here and gets constantly simped for. Even when he’s not playing guitar live!

Stay mad

Tom writing it in 2018 makes it feel like less of a boxcar song and more just like a Tom song. Still great. Just don’t think it carries the weight of Mark being cool with it that it did if it was from back around the original record.

If anything I think it's impactful since this was made by Travis and Tom during while Mark didn't want to deal with Tom and was brushing off Travis talking about "when Tom comes back" and telling Mark he thinks blink is just the 3 of them and Mark wasn't having it lol. Imagine if it had released during this time.

What’s this ‘sent’ and ‘received’ stuff? Sounds like separate studios, neighborhoods style recording?

He said Mark Tom and Travis met up in LA to write together and come up with ideas a couple times every other week and then would go home to track their parts to send back and forth in the time between

The part about Bad News is confusing. Did Aaron say he tracked the guitars himself?

So Tom actually tracked the Bad News guitars? I'm kinda happy to hear that since I assumed it was Mark.

From what I gather, Tom actually tracked all the guitars this time around

It's cohesiveness like that that really makes me appreciate an album more.
